When I was young, I always helped my grandfather in the fields. As I worked beside him, he １ to tell a story about a man named Joe, and his wife, who moved to a new farm with their three sons. They were setting into the new place ２ a nearby farmer told Joe that there was gold in the earth. Joe was very 3 , and told his sons about it.
They began to dig in one corner, and they got to the end of the field. At the same time, Joe thought he would 4 some crops where the earth had been 5 . The plants included corn, tomatoes, potatoes, etc. His sons continued to dig through the soil, made up their mind to find the gold. Since 6 soil was being turned, Joe could plant more crops. Joe had never farmed before, but it had always been his 7 .
As different crops came ready to be harvested, Joe started to 8 that there were more vegetables than he and his family could ever 9 . One of Joe’s neighbors suggested that he 10 a vegetable shop. Joe and his wife did that very thing. They called it Joe and Family Vegetable. Joe even had to leave some crops in the fields, 11 he had more than enough to supply the vegetable shop.
This went on for years, and Joe and his wife became quite 12 from their little vegetable shop. They were even able to 13 their sons to college.
Remember the beginning of the story, when Joe was told by his new neighbor that there was gold in the land? Well, the truth is, Joe’s 14 of the English language was less than perfect. His new neighbor friend actually meant that his land had rich 15 . So you can see where the concept（概念）of gold comes from.

“How can I learn English well?” “This is a many students may ask. In my opinion, the most effective(有效的) is to learn lessons by heart. If you can recite the text and write it out, you will learn it pretty well. And if you can tell your own words about the lesson says, you are a very successful learner indeed. Your English will be quite perfect.
This is a difficult task. However, if you try to learn by heart only part of each lesson, you’ll find it not so hard you might have thought.
Learn this way, and you will fast progress. Of course, writing is also necessary. It helps you a lot on your way to in English studies.
It’s equally(同样地) important to feel the language. You should laugh at Englsih jokes and be at bad news. When using English, try to your mother tongue(母语). helping you, your own language gets in your way. So, never try to learn English through putting every word into Chinese.

Teenagers usually experience changes on all levels --- physical and emotional (感情的). Some may feel uncomfortable when in new situations, such as talking to strangers. But with small talk, you may fit into the new environment.
Small talk is a light conversation for social occasions (社交场合). it usually doesn’t have much detail(细节), it is the starting point for friendships
Children can use small talk to a conversation in many different ways.
Asking open questions is one of the most useful ways. For example, you are at someone’s birthday party, but you know people. How do you break the ice? You can start a conversation with “This is a great party. How do you know the host?” This way is also in many other situations, such as school clubs or picnics.
Sometimes, simply an works, especially to help find common ground(共同点) with others. For example, when going into a new environment, you can introduce yourself by saying “I am in Class 2. My teacher is Mr Black.” The other person may say, “Oh, really? He is also my math teacher. He is very strict ...” See? A good conversation begins.
The third way is to find your strong points and it to others. This is useful when you want to a group. For example, you see boys playing soccer on the school playground. Just say, “Do you need more players? I am a very good goalkeeper(守门员).”
So next time, don’t be when meeting strangers. Just try small talk. A stranger may become your next friend.
